House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris on Tuesday stated that he would vote “no” on the Senate’s version of the “One, Big Beautiful Bill” if the upper chamber does not make changes.
The Senate returned to Washington, D.C. on Monday to work on the legislation, which has already passed the House but will need to be passed again if the upper chamber makes significant changes. Harris voted “present” on the bill in the House.
The lawmaker claimed that the current version of the Senate’s bill “weakens key House priorities,” and takes the country further from a balanced budget. The House version took weeks of careful negotiations.
“[The Senate bill] doesn’t do enough to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid, it backtracks on Green New Scam elimination included in the House bill, and it greatly increases the deficit – taking us even further from a balanced budget,” Harris posted to X. “If the Senate tries to jam the House with this version, I won’t vote ‘present.’ I’ll vote NO.”
